“To have work is to have life: Refugees experience with the right to work in Ecuador” was published in June 2011 to highlight the experiences of refugees in Ecuador who have sought to exercise their right to work, and to provide a forum for refugees to speak in their own words about the role that employment plays in their lives. This report was researched and drafted by Karolien van Teijlingen at Asylum Access Ecuador and edited by Asylum Access staff.
